Received the usual excellent service from my local salon. I much prefer to have my hair cut rather than clipped and accordingly I am always more than satisfied with the results of Ben’s ministrations. Great personal service and friendly atmosphere. I would not go anywhere else in Kemptown.

Ben is really great. As I have alopecia, I hadn't been to a hairdresser for years! Returning to Ginkgo was such a boost. I felt so comfortable taking my hair piece off there & he's very understanding. Scarlet was really lovely too. I have already recommend the salon to friends & 1 goes. THANK YOU!

I have been coming for years and I don't even live in the area anymore! Ben understands my hair well and I've never had a bad haircut, and Linda blends my colour beautifully

Ben understood how I wanted my haircut from a quick explanation and 2 random merged photos! He "gets" hair. Would def recommend and will be back.
